By Tommy Seah

With today’s unsettling economic conditions, there is no more challenging area in finance than

working capital management. This seminar addresses all the key issues: from organizing and

improving control over your company’s cash flows...to identifying key friction points among the

various financial functions (cash/marketable securities, inventory, accounts receivable and payable

and notes payable)...to establishing efficient investing and borrowing approaches (that means, how to get

that loan from the bank)...and developing a global working capital management system. You’ll discover

an effective way to broaden your horizons and learn how specific elements of working capital

management work separately and together. More importantly, it will show you how to go about

persuading your banker that your business is economically viable and in need of working capital.

Attendees: CFOs, vice presidents of finance, treasurers, cash managers, controllers, financial analysts,

business strategists, financial consultants and auditors.
